 part of your marketing team

it starts with strategy

Your audience is swarmed by visual noise which makes it hard to stand out from the crowd. You have a great product but if no one sees it, it could stop you from hitting your business goals.

I help marketing teams create buzz by putting strategy and brand story first, and breaking down walls through authentic visual storytelling.

 

 Melissa is great photographer who is willing to leap tall buildings in a single bound to get the perfect photo.

As a photographer, often the only way to scale your business is to bring on help. When the amount of work became overwhelming, and I wasn’t able to clone myself, I decided that I needed to build a team I could trust.

On the job: strides of hope

I have been working with the Center for Loss and Bereavement for a few years now, and I love supporting their mission any way that I can. In April they held their 5th Annual Strides of Hope 5K at Heebner Park in Worcester, PA. This event raised funds and awareness for grief support services at the Center and brought together the community to remember loved ones. The day was filled with hope, healing, and connection.
